The 'Accidental' President Whose Innate Decency And Steady Hand Restored The Presidency After Its Greatest Crisiswhen Gerald R. Ford Entered The White House In August 1974, He Inherited A Presidency Tarnished By The Watergate Scandal, The Economy Was In A Recession, The Vietnam War Was Drawing To A Close, And He Had Taken Office Without Having Been Elected. Most Observers Gave Him Little Chance Of Success, Especially After He Pardoned Richard Nixon Just A Month Into His Presidency, An Action That Outraged Many Americans, But Which Ford Thought Was Necessary To Move The Nation Forward.Many People Today Think Of Ford As A Man Who Stumbled A Lotclumsy On His Feet And In Politicsbut Acclaimed Historian Douglas Brinkley Shows Him To Be A Man Of Independent Thought And Conscience, Who Never Allowed Party Loyalty To Prevail Over His Sense Of Right And Wrong. As A Young Congressman, He Stood Up To The Isolationists In The Republican Leadership, Promoting A Vigorous Role For America In The World. Later, As House Minority Leader And As President, He Challenged The Right Wing Of His Party, Refusing To Bend To Their Vision Of Confrontation With The Communist World. And After The Fall Of Saigon, Ford Also Overruled His Advisers By Allowing Vietnamese Refugees To Enter The United States, Arguing That To Do So Was The Humane Thing To Do.Brinkley Draws On Exclusive Interviews With Ford And On Previously Unpublished Documents (Including A Remarkable Correspondence Between Ford And Nixon Stretching Over Four Decades), Fashioning A Masterful Reassessment Of Gerald R. Ford'S Presidency And His Underappreciated Legacy To The Nation.
